Srfp Flashcards
Define flowering plants
Flowers are morphological and embryological marvels and site of sexual reproduction
Angiosperm
Flowering plants
Sex organ of plant
Flower
Formation of gamete known as
Gametogenesis
Gamete transfer in plant known as
Pollination
Gamete fusion known as
Fertilization
Flower arised from which meristem
Shoot
How many whorls in flower
4
Name them
Androecium, gynoecium, corolla, calyx
Basic unit of gynoecium
Carpel or pistil
Basuc unit of androecium
Stamen
Basic unit of corolla
Petal
Basic unit of calyx
Sepal
Why calyx and corolla known as non essential whorl
They are not directly involved in sexual reproduction
Part of stamen
Anther and filament
How many lobes of anther
2
Total theca
4
Term for 4 microsporangia
Tetrasporangiate
Stalk of flower
Pedicle
No of anther wall layer
4
Name them
Epidermis, endothecium, middle layer, tapetum
Who provide nutrition to developing tissue
Tapetum
Who helps in dehiscence of anther
Endothecium
Ploidy of microspore mother cell
2n
Each sporogenous cell is a potential pollen
True or false
True
Define microsporogenesis
The process of formation of microspres from apollen mother cell through meiosis
Male gametophyte
Pollen grain
Outer and inner wall
Exine , intine
Exibe is made up of
Sporopollenin
Why is exine not continues
Due to presence of germ pore
What does germ pore do
Lead to development of pollen tube
Why is sporopollenin most resistant organic material?
It can withstand high temp, strong acid and alkali
Therefore, provide protection to pollen grain and can be preserved in form of fossils (fossilization)
Intine is made of
Pectin and cellulose
Pollen grain divide into 2 cell name them
Vegetative and generative
Which cell has irregular shaped nucleus
Vegetative
The centre for pollen storage is
Pollen bank
example of plant causing allergy
parthenium/carrot grass, amaranthus, chenopodium
pant having 30 min of pollen viability
rice, wheat
plant having several months of pollen viability
leguminosae, rosacea, solanacea
define cryopreservation
storage of pollen grains for years in liquid N2 (-196 C) for later use in plant breeding programmes
example of apocarpus
michelia, lotus, rose
example of syncarpus
papaver, china rose
true or false
can ovules number vary
true
protective covering of ovule
integuments
point of junction between ovule and funicle
hilum
stalk by which ovule is attatched to placenta
funicle
define megasporogenesis
the process of formation of megaspores from megaspore mother cell
explain monosporic development
when only one megaspore is functional and divides to form female gametophyte (embryo sac)
cellular thickenings which help in guiding tube
filliform apparatus
most common type of ovule is
anatropus ovule
define pollination
transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma
name types of pollination
self pollination ( autogamy and geitonogamy) and cross pollination
most common biotic agent is
pollination by insects (entemophily)
what is wind pollination known as
anemophily
what is water pollination known as
hydrophilly
example of water pollination
limited to 30 genera of monocots
which is the most common abiotic agent
wind
name some floral rewards
pollen
nectar
safe place for laying eggs
example of epihydrophilly
vallisneria
pollination below surface of water known as
hypohydrophilly
example of hypohydrophilly
zoostera
shape of pollen of zoostera
ribbon like
example of wind pollinated flower
grass family
steps of artificial hybridisation
emasculation
bagging
debagging
rebagging
double fertilisation includes
syngamy and triple fusion
example of albuminous seed
wheat, maize, barley (monocot)
ex-albuminous seed example
pea, bean, groundnut (dicot)
part of seed
seed coat, endosperm, embryo
which seed has viability only for months
oxalis
plant whose seed viability is for 10,000 years
lupinus arcticus
seed viability is 2000 years
excavated from king herods palace near dead sea
Phoenix dactylefera (date palm)

overy without fertilization from fruit
parthenocarpic fruits
fruit which develops from ovary
true fruit
parthenocarpic fruit example
grapes, banana
formation of seed without fertilisation known as
apomixis
when embryo is formed from unfertilized egg known as
parthenogenesis
